[gmx-users] npt equilbration + density

[Bahar Mehrpuyan]

Thanks Justin for the reply.

 i use SPC water model (12000 molecules). in literature there are 
different values for density which depend simulation time, number of 
water molecules , etc. (for example this paper : 
jcp.aip.org/resource/1/jcpsa6/v108/i24/p10220_s1)

That depends on the water model you use and what its expected density is.
